Why stay here ...
Holmside CL is located on the western edge of the Lake District with easy access to the Wasdale and Eskdale valley as well as numerous beautiful beaches.
The site has 5 hardstanding pitches each with a section of grass for awnings and/or relaxing. It benefits from sun nearly all day and has stunning views down the Wasdale Valley to Scawfell Pike. A gentle river runs down the back of four pitches which helps to create the relaxing, peaceful atmosphere you will experience whilst staying at the site. There is very little light pollution so on clear nights star gazing is a must.
It provides an ideal base for walkers and cyclists who can experience excellent routes directly from the site, as well as Wasdale Valley being 9 miles away.
If you prefer a day at the beach then this is also very easily accessible with Seascale beach being a short 10 minute drive from the site where there are plenty of amenities including a local shop supplying local produce, who can deliver to the site if required, and an ice cream shop on the beach front.
The village of Gosforth is roughly 1 mile from the site, a 20 minute stroll, where you can find numerous pubs, an Italian restaurant and the Yam Frae Yam tearoom.
There are numerous attractions nearby including the famous La'al Ratty and Muncaster Castle. All local attractions, pubs & takeaway information can be found in the on site Information hut where you will also find games and books to help occupy your time. Busy Bees Buffets are based in the main house and offer afternoon teas, breakfasts, cakes and meals delivered to your caravan if you fancy treating yourself.
A links golf course can be found in Seascale as well as a second course 8 miles south of the site.
Dogs are more than welcome on the site but please keep them on a lead at all times and pick up any mess.
